We kicked off the first of our new event series AE Invites at Miam Mini Market in the Doctor’s Garden area of Sofia. Mira and Angel carry both our rakia and our soap in their shop. They recently added a quaint new multi purpose space next to the market, where their customers can sit and enjoy Miam’s tasty treats. They were kind enough to allow us use of the space for our inaugural event of the AE Invites series.

Piggy backing off the success of our Cherry Rakia Cocktail event with Multi-Kulti Collective at Kvartal Fest, which Bacchus published an article about my recipes and the event, we decided to keep things going with more cherry rakia cocktails.

It was great to have the chance to serve our cocktails to a new audience. I am enjoying the opportunity to use my knowledge as a chef to design recipes highlighting our cherry rakia. The idea was to create balanced and delicious libations. The responses were overwhelmingly positive for the Cherry Sidecar, Bulgarian 75 and Rakia Old Fashioned.

These forthcoming events in the series will showcase creative recipes featuring our rakia, hopefully truffles and other spirits that are on the horizon. The events will be informal afterwork gatherings at different venues in Sofia and maybe Plovdiv, Varna and Veliko Tarnovo in the future. Save the date November 28th!
